"One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world."

"Read thousands of books and I will power myself with knowledge. Pens and books are the weapons that defeat terrorism."

"The Taliban could take our pens and books, but they couldn’t stop our minds from thinking."

Everyone probably thinks that I'm a raving nymphomaniac, that I have an insatiable sexual appetite, when the truth is I'd rather read a book.
